Long after Mrs. Tabb's death Mr.. Randolph

at dinner party given TO young army Off

glowing account of the Mexican churches,

For the Steamer Monocaoy Because
She Is Too Old.
A report upon the conuition of the Mo
nocacy was recently transmitted by Chief
Naval Constructor Wilson to Secretary
Whitney, bearing the following Endorsements:
BUREAU OF CONSTRUCTION AND REPAIR, July
20, lsS7.-[ Respectfully forwarded TO the Sec
retary OF the Navy. 1.-The report of the unsea..
worthy condition of the Monocacy, forwarded
by Rear Admiral Chandler under date of Apr.

The bureau would respectfully suggest that
sci she be taken into dry dock and her bottom
carefully examined, and In the event OF Its
condition being favorable, that Rear Admiral
Chandler enter enter Into @ % contract with reliable I,
not to exceed $4,000. The bureau forwards

advisable for adding to the ship the increased

Chief of Bureau.
Secretary Whitney indorsed the report
and recommendation as follows:
AUG. 3 lss7.-I confess TO profound sus
picon Of this boat. She is twenty-lour years
old, a small paddle wheel steamer of 1870 tons
displacement, and cost originally about $685.
600; would cost to duplicate now not over $780,
In repairs l75,0OO-s93,O 900 of 1t was spent as
late as 1851 yet she Is now declared unsea-
worthy. The estimated expenditure for the
defects now visible is put at $4,000. But in
these cases there is q vast difference between
the seen and the unseen. and the survey sug-
gests to my mind hopeless case. The report
says: "The number OF defective riyets show
ing now is sixty.three, but others will probably
be found scaled" Commander Glass writes
,,'The working of the ship I'm, seaway, caused
by her lack of longitudinal strength, has
sheared the rivets." A plan tor strengthening
her by en- iron brace, running lengthwise e
proposed. new main deok Is required. IL
looks like old age and general decrepitude,
and that everything spent would be thrown
away. How can II otherwise be accounted for
that $4,000 was spent on her In 1884, at which
time her machinery and boilers were removed,
and every opportunity afforded for remedyiug
defects, and that she should so soon show such
weakness The recommendation OF the chief
OF the bureau of construction and repair that
she should be docked and carefully examined
before any expense Ia Incurred Is judiolous,
and when thus examined the report may be
sent to the department for consideration.

AFTER MAI. BASH.
The Secretary of War Suspends the
Paymaster From Duty.

The following Associated Press tele-
gram was received at this office last
evening:
WASHINGTON, Aug. IO.-By direction
of the secretary of war Maj. Daniel
Bash, paymaster Of the United States
army, is suspended from duty and is or
dered to his home to await further orders.
Maj. Bash is the officer who was robbed
of 81, 500 at Antelope Springs, Wyo.,
March IS, 1887, by Charley Parker, a
cowboy. 1t is understood that Paymaster
Bash is relieved from duty until the
amount is made good to the government,
this being the custom in the army in
such cases.
Mai. Bash requested a court of inquiry
soon after the robbery, and the matter
was investigated by a court martial. Mai.
Bash was exonerated from blame by his
considerate fellow officers, while Seargt.
Fox, a member of his guard, was dishon.
orally dismissed from the service fol
carelessness in connection with the affair.
The tenor of the above telegram indi,
Gates that Secretary Endicott does not
approve the findings of the court martial
which treated Maj. Bash so gently and
dealt harshly with his inferior officer.

SCENERY.
A Beautiful Effect Produced by a Great
Fire at Night.

a burning brick kiln at night is one of
the most wierd and beautiful sights i'm
aginable. About $50, 900 of the earthen
blocks are now undergoing that process at
the yards of Frank Miller just beyond
Crow creek in West Cheyenne. After
being Jul dried the brick are used in the
erection of a kiln, arches being left be-
meath and on each side of the structure
for the introduction of fuel beneath the
pile. Many cords of wood are used il
the burning Of the kiln, thousands of
sticks being thrown into the flames BY
men stationed there to watch the progress
of the operation and regulate the heat.
Above each arch is an aperature for the
admittance OF air to produce a draft. A
gaze into this opening reveals beauties
which discount the finest kaleidoscope
views or snow stolm effects. In one fur
mace the flames will burn slowly as if en-
tlclng some oneato enter, while in others
the fire RACES fercely and apparently de-
fies the whole world. One would scarcely
look in a prosaic brick yard for beautiful
sights, but they are certainly to be found
there. 1t requires a week or ten days to
properly bake" a large kiln, the i'm
meDse body only becoming warm after
four or five days constant firing.
